#347 of 372 New Miata Owner by kneisl1 Aug 13, 2006 (5:42 pm)
Today I became the proud owner of a 1999 silver and black Miata! 28k miles and in overall excellent shape. Female owner. A california car I believe. The only fly in the ointment is a one inch tear in the top. Can anyone recommend a product to reair it? Thanks! Replies to this message: ateixeira (Aug 21, 2006 11:01 am)

Replying to: manybmws (Jul 23, 2006 5:34 pm) base can be set from nil to full, and still get this horrible distortion. There is no change in volume when car is moving. Only way to hear radio as speed increases is to do it manually. Nothing in manual that you can program this other than 'on' and off', and this is all I have been able to do. Service rep at dealer was an ahole and refused to illustrate programming though he clams it can be done. Have you done this? Menu I call up is same as shown in manual for autopilot units.

Replying to: vegasresident (Jul 31, 2006 11:45 am) yeah, I agree re: electronics. This is what got the Germans in trouble. I question the hardtop in this car too. I love throwing the top off in <5 sec, so, to me there is no need. Many of those roofs look like a sea of trouble to come.

Replying to: randallvjones (Aug 13, 2006 8:56 am) Ditto on the spark plug wire suggestion. Beyond that it could be the alternator, since it seems to be related to electrical.   -juice Replies to this message: coastie52 (Aug 21, 2006 2:40 pm) ateixeira (Aug 21, 2006 5:03 pm)

Replying to: kneisl1 (Aug 13, 2006 5:42 pm) For a while I got away with using some silicone caulk on my top, that sealed it well enough to stretch it for an extra year or so. Use very little and then add a layer if needed.   But if the top it brittle it'll keep cracking. If yours is original it's 7+ years old, and they only last up to 10 years if you're lucky.   -juice

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 21, 2006 11:00 am) Thanks for all the great ideas. Turns out it was water in the gas tank. Drained it, added a drying agent and filled it up. Runs great!! Replies to this message: ateixeira (Aug 21, 2006 5:03 pm)

Replying to: coastie52 (Aug 21, 2006 2:40 pm) DOH!   Reminds me of that scene from Sling Blade when Billy Bob goes "ain't got no gas in it!"   -juice
#355 of 372 new top or not? by kneisl1 Aug 24, 2006 (8:53 am)
Instead of putting a new top, what about getting a car cover and just covering it? Does that work?
#356 of 372 1994 Mazda not starting by mazdaman1994 Aug 28, 2006 (9:24 am)
My 1994 MX5 took unsually long to start (usually starts first crank). The same evening it started first crank but then died. Checked for sparks. No sparks from any of the leads. Checked coil pack. Cleaned and checked resistance between High voltage outputs - 10kOhms on both coils. Reconnected coil but still no spark and engine just cranks over but does not even fire.   Cam belt seems fine.   Car has an alarm but no idea if it has the ability to kill the engine.   How does one get access to the fuse panel inside the car?   Appreciate any input.
